FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Cell Noun
[sel]
Back
Cell
The basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known organisms, representing the smallest unit of life.
Example: This diagram shows a cross-section of an animal cell, labeling its main parts, called organelles, such as the nucleus and mitochondria.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Eukaryotic Cell Noun
[yoo-kar-ee-ot-ik sel]
Back
Eukaryotic Cell
A type of cell that possesses a membrane-bound nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles to house its DNA.
Example: This diagram shows a eukaryotic cell, a type of cell with a membrane-bound nucleus and other organelles like mitochondria, all contained within the cytoplasm.
3.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Prokaryotic Cell Noun
[pro-kar-ee-ot-ik sel]
Back
Prokaryotic Cell
A type of cell lacking a membrane-enclosed nucleus and other membrane-enclosed organelles, with its DNA free-floating.
Example: This diagram shows a prokaryotic cell's structure, using a bacterium as an example. It highlights key parts like the free-floating DNA (nucleoid).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Organelle Noun
[or-guh-nel]
Back
Organelle
A specialized subunit found within a cell that has a specific function to perform for the cell's survival.
Example: This diagram shows the inside of an animal cell, labeling the different parts called organelles, such as the nucleus and mitochondria.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Cell Membrane Noun
[sel mem-breyn]
Back
Cell Membrane
The protective, semipermeable outer layer of a cell that regulates the passage of substances into and out of it.
Example: This diagram shows the cell membrane is a flexible barrier (fluid mosaic) made of a phospholipid bilayer with different types of proteins embedded in it.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Cytoplasm Noun
[sahy-toh-plaz-uhm]
Back
Cytoplasm
The gel-like substance enclosed within the cell membrane, which suspends the organelles and fills the entire cell.
Example: This diagram of an animal cell shows that the cytoplasm is the jelly-like substance filling the cell, located outside the nucleus and containing other organelles.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Nucleus Noun
[noo-klee-uhs]
Back
Nucleus
A membrane-bound organelle in eukaryotic cells that contains the cell's genetic material and controls its activities.
Example: This diagram shows a cutaway view of the cell's nucleus, labeling its key parts like the nucleolus, chromatin, and the protective nuclear envelope.
